The Meir-Wingreen formula describes the electric current through an arbitrary mesoscopic system. It was formulated by Yigal Meir and Ned Wingreen.[1] When the interaction between electrons is neglected, this formula reduces to the Landauer formula. This textbook formula[2] has become a standard tool for calculating the current through various systems, such as molecular junctions, quantum dots and nanoscale devices.
